Thou. sands of active enterprising men, who are identified with the mercantile and mechani cal thtift, characteristic of -Boston, reside from two to twenty-five, and sometimes forty Miles off, in the beautiful surrounding towns and villages, which are always accessible by numerous railroads at various hours of the day and evening. After the fatigues of the day, and the exit of customers, they hie them selves to' the magnific6iit scenery which farms and gardens, hills and dales, render incalculably inviting through tkie warm season to pass the night' in untainted atmosphere, and in clean, well-ventilated houses. The following morning thay are again brought, by an early train, to city, both physically and mentally prepared for the pursuits of the day. This class thus secure a remarkable degree of health; and longevity, in degrees varying according to the healthful or unhealthful na ture of habits, will follow as a necessary con sequence. Then, again, the different mem bers of families are constantly making ex cursions hero and there from the city, in con sequence of the facility, rapidity, and econo my in moving about. All the various influ ences operating on the play of muscles of the body, on the nerves, on the mind, and on the circulation of the blood, by rushing through the atmosphere with the momentum of a bird on the wing, are each-of them bettering the condition of the body, and brace it up firmly to resist the ordinary sources of indisprsition, and secure the individual that measure of health on which much of his happines3 and usefulnOss in society depend. Rail roads, therefore, aside from their pecuniary enrich ing influences, and the resources they furni Ih for trade and - extended intercourse, are im. proving the condition of hunmanity more par ticularly, in the way of pro:noting and sus taining the he alth of cities. We have felt an unusual degree of gratifi cation in success of Mr. Spear, a gentleman of unbounded philanthropy, who secures to the poor children of Boston, annually, a pleas ant trip to some sieet grove beyond the ever lasting din of our crowdeJ streets. where their Iungs.can be expanded ly unvitiated air and their sensus regaled by the magnificence of the-Creator's works in the green fields, the wild flowers, the waving forests, and the bal my breezes of the country. The sickly and feeble are also benefited by railroads.' iyspeptics, those with irratable lunge, and debilitated children are improved in health by frequent transits in the cars; and it would be the .very spirit of benevolence to furnish poor and sickly females, a numerous body of silent patient suflerers in all large cities, the means for riding from ten to twen. t miles on a rail road, at least twice a week uring the summer months. While soine have treated of the moral influences of rail roads, and all familiar with their commercial importance in developing the resources of a country, it is our agreeable province to herald another property singularly overlooked ina community exceedingy blessed by their con. struction-viz: the stability they are calcula. ted to give to the public health.-Boil!on Mcdi. cal and Surgical Jou nal. METHODIST fEVscoPAL CHURci.-MAost oI our readers are probably aware that the Metho. dist Episcopal Church his been devided into two bodies-the MI.. lE. Church south, and the M. E. Church north--on the nuestion of slave. ry. The southern brauch of the Church de mnanded an equitable distributicn of the co:n. mon property of the chureb, and the quest;in of arbitation was discussed at the last Natioa al Conference held at P'ittsburg. Ence that +.imne the agents of the northerni branch of the~ Church, in a teher addressed to the Conims sioners of the M. E. Church south, state that they are "satisfied tint no power which <bt possess, whether corporate or otherwise, wvill wvarrant us to submit the claim iiade byv you in behalf of the Methodist Episcopal Churchi south, to a portion of thei prpe of the B:>ok4 concern of the Methodist Episcopal Church to the decision of arbiters. la this decision the agents are sustained by Judlge MCLean. The decision will of course cause mumch excitement among the Methodist at the south and a suit at law will probably result from ihi decision, which will be tranisferred to th~ .Sut. promo Court. Hon.

COTr-oN SEED ExrmAcron.-The North. ern papers, we notice, are describingr at cn siderable length a newv invention for extract ing the seed of the cotton pilanlt. It is of ther simplest construct ion, compiJosed miniily of two cylidders, closely set together, a feeder, and the ordinary fani. The cotton conitainin~ the seeds is thrown on the feeder, from whmich it is taken by the cylinders, which extract thec seeds wvhole, the cotto'i being parsed by thec fan into a receiver. Thle quantity of cotton cleaned by this machine, it is said, will far ex. coed that by the ordinary saw-gin inow in uise, and a third less power is requtired to keep it in operation. By ihis muothied the texture nmi length of the fibre is comipletely presered, thme value of cotton ivill be greatly enhanced, and the intrinsic w.ort hi is iincreused from cent to a cent and a h:df p3er poun id. it i, calculated that a thousand poundis of cottoi ean be extracted in the samno space. of timec that is required to- ext ract twenty-four poumndi by the common saw..gin.

TUE PAcnEco SLAVEc CASE.-The N. Y. Tribune gives the following statements of the facts upon which the Pacheco clain is found od: - "Early in the progress of the Florida War upon the- Seinoleo, Major Dade hired of Pa checo at-825 per month, his sr.vo Lewis to guide throngh the country of the hostile savages the expedition w iclh Major Dade caornanded Lewis was a negro of remark able abilities, spoke four languages fluently, and it would seem was a secret confederate and spy of hlie Indians at the time.

WANT OF FitFsH AIn.-ilonn. Iorace Mann, alludning to, ill ventilated school-rooms, remarks as follo(vs: "To put children on short allowance of fresh air, is as foolish as it would hive been for Noah duritig the deluge, to put his family on a short allowance of water. Since G.id has pi'ired out an atnosphiere fifty miles deep, it is enough to make a irnisor weep, to see our children stinted in breathing."

Tizounr.E IN GEoGIA..--Thlrc. appears te be considerable excitement in llenry Coun ty, growing out of tie result of the late elee tion in that county for Judges of the Inferior Court. The returns of tie election, which were deposited in tihe iail to be forwarded to the Governor, are said to have been abstract ed from the m-di-tiag; two cetts of Jludges are now in power-two Clerks of the Court of Ordinary, appoin.ed. It appears that the election for Clerk was tie point upon which the election of Judges tiurni, and the princi pal cause of the Iresenit excitennit.

The news by the Canada had an unfavorable ef'ect on tle market, causing a decline of 1 8 c. on the prices current beore the arrival of the steamcr. Sumter Convention. We suggest that a Convention of Sumter District be held shortly, to shew our approval of the procdedings of the southern members in respect to the Address, and our deterihina. tion to sustain them in their resistance to ag. gression. Secession is preferable to submis sion, and cicil war to inequality and resulting degradation, oppression and ruin, anl the loss <f "our lirer, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." A ]MrlcIl Hotel. During the last four years, two attoimpts hove been made to raise by subscription of slares and loan sufficient to build a Brick Hotel hers. Tie firjt altmpt failo; the second progresses slowly.

There is no doubt, that persons would'be induced to fre quent th-s village much more than at present, if a goodily brick or wooden hotel proiisel "entertainment forman and beast."

The address of the southern members ol 'congress to their constituents, prepared by Mr. CALUouN, has bei pnhiaihed in the large daily papers, and, we suppose, has beer read by many of onr readers. Being a docu. ment of considerable lengtli, it was not in om power to publiah it this week, da it came tr late. We' shall endeavor to give it entire next week. It will repay a second reading Copies ahould be Multiplied, so that it may be in the hands of all. It is simply a historical narration of tl.e aggressions of the-north, in regard to slavery, and urges union among the Southern Stater, without pres:-ning any other specific, so that the Southern States, mny be preparei for united action, when the time comes to maintain our rights und eqzamlity in the unihn as a wereign States. We are glad to see that this d)cisive step has been taken It distinctly makes the issue. There is nowi no retreat bat in submission. Mr. W. Tr.

THE AGITATION AT WASHINGTON. The Correspondent of the Balimore Sun throws out the folluw.ng sugge.Ations in rela tion .to the sate of th'gs at presen1 prvail ing at Vashingion.

They did not consider the present t ind propitioas for it, and trie-l, as much as it' was in thrir power, to arrest it. One of thi reasons wlhf from 20 to 23 Demu. ocratic members hiave refused to sign Mr. Cil h: -u-:s ad. r _. s is, tivt in re i in.r "thu aggris s41ns and insults" the South is rep~ived froin the North.

Mr. Calhoun fo~esees great dlieuIty as toa slavery ini this Dstrict, hut no mxovomenst against it will be mad~e at thuis session.

T1hese plhees are not toleratedl by the hiws either of Maryland or Virginia. Congress will undoubtedly swveep away every vestige of slavery in this xistrict, or remove the seat of governmnent. The thirty-second Congress wail do all that. They may, to save the Union,rremoved the seat of governmueg Mr. Calhoun's anticipations as to the progress of opinion on this subject are not ill-founded.
